DAYTON, Ohio – The Bobcats and Flyers meet up for a rematch of a 2018 MCLA National Championships first round contest that was played in Salt Lake City and won by Montana State.

This time, the matchup will take place in the bucolic fields of western Ohio.

Dayton, fresh off a trip to the D-II finals last year, looks just as stiff while Montana State has reemerged as the favorite out of the RMLC.

The No. 12 Bobcats enter this second round contest after a comfy victory over No. 21 Central Conn. State in Bozeman.

Montana State grabbed 511 of the 809 votes for the 26.4 percentage point victory.

No. 5 Dayton routed No. 28 Wake Forest in a low-scoring affair.

Just 579 votes were logged – one of the lower outputs of the first round – but the Flyers claimed 385 of them, setting up the 33.0 percentage point triumph.

Staff shirt for the winning coach. Who has the momentum?
